Villa Sant’Andrea, built a century ago as an elegant private residence, nestles unassumingly on the Bay of Mazzaro. Now an intimate hotel, it has retained the villa’s original charm - and it’s beautiful grounds, which include a private pebble beach overlooking the turquoise Ionian sea.

Belmond, the luxury hotel group that has owned the villa since 2010, have pulled it into the 21st century with luxurious interiors, an infinity pool, impeccable staff and a mouth-wateringly tasty restaurant, while maintaining an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
